Frog Town Water Reclamation

Below is some of what was my 1st year final project from last Spring. It was a "Living System" water reclamation facility for a block of the community of Frog Town near Atwater Village and the L.A. river. There is a wetlands park and a water recycling system that is designed to work like this:

- Houses on block use water
- Black water and gray water are separated
- Gray water flows to site where it is reclaimed through a five phase living system (settling tank, secondary settling, tertiary filtration and anaerobic digesters, and UV filtration)
- Reclaimed water flows to adjacent block for use

...and so on and so forth.

It is designed to serve as an educational facility as well, where the public can learn about the benefits of Living System water reclamation.
